New York humor at its finest

11/1/17. Hilarious. However, it would be helpful if you are a native New Yorker or know someone who is. Friedlander's humor thrives on those who are older and have an understanding of Baby Boomers, with a New York frame of mind. His observational commentaries of the current US political scene is spot on! Worth catching.

"But I keep moving forward because I'm an American."

You wouldn't know by looking at the guy, but Judah Friedlander is hilarious. What makes him particularly brilliant is that he seems to be doing his routine on the fly, asking audience members questions and reacting to them off the cuff by citing the most obscure references imaginable. And it's all done in the most seriously dead-pan style possible.This Netflix comedy special is put together from clips of Friedlander appearing in a New York comedy club covering a number of his routines, and in one case, demonstrates his handling of the same question in a different way, a testament to the guy's unique ability to think on his feet and react spontaneously. As regards the title of this program, he insinuates America's greatness by challenging Trump to a one on one in a parking lot, and riffs on dubious statistics like gun crime and murder rates. There's a particular moment where I had to stop and think about his idea on how to deal with getting pulled over while under the influence - tell the cop you're a drug war re-enactor! I don't think you'd get away with it, but it might get you a warning instead of a ticket. This show is so funny I've already watched it four times and even when you know the punch line that's coming, it's still hilarious. Seriously, as a patriotic American, you owe it to yourself to watch this show. Judah Friedlander is probably the greatest comedian appearing in it.
